Lyrics for Say Yes! to M!ch!gan!

Demonstrate I was Raised from the start By a priest and The maid on the part. Still know what To wear on my back: Michigan! Ponshewaing! Cadillac! If I ever meant to go away I was raised, I was reaised In the place, in the place. Still I often think of going back To the farms, to the farms Golden arms, golden arms Start to remind me. If the lakes took The place of the sea. If the cars drove Themselves, way to be! Opposite the trains moving in Rivers run interstate, Michigan! Still I never meant to go away I was raised, I was raised In the place, in the place. Still I often think of going back To the farms, to the farms Golden arms, golden arms. Tried to change the Made in Michigan I was raised, I was raised In the place, in the place, Part to remind me
